Abstract: 8436. Aubert, A. M., and Aubert, J. M. April 7. Lighting-burners by electric devices. -In a device for successively operating gas lamps from a central station by clockwork or hand control of the kind in which relays are put into action respectively by the relay of the preceding lamp in the group, the relay at each lamp site consists of an arbor 17 which turns a definite amount at each operation and carries a number of contact blades for suc cessively energizing the next relay, opening the valve, igniting the gas, and finally closing the valve. Each lamp has a battery 21, a distributor 12, a trembler 4, sparking coil 8, 9, and windings 6, 7 for respectively opening and closing the valve. As soon as the distributor at the central station (not shown) is released, a contact 20 of a distributor similar to that shown in Fig. 3, is rotated by the arbor 17 into engagement with a contact 16 to energize the relay of the succeeding lamp, the distributor of which is released. Contact fingers 18, 19 then successively engage with contacts 13,14 to open the valve and ignite the gas through an electro-magnet winding 6 and a sparking coil 8, 9. A contact 15 and winding 7 are provided for closing each valve.

Title: Improved Means for Controlling Electrically-operated Driving Systems.
IPC: B66D5/00
Filed: 1910-12-21
Granted: 1911-07-06
Abstract: 29,727. Crompton & Co., Macfarlane, J. C., Burge, H., and Williams, A. Dec. 21. Electric equipment.-In a system where a winding motor M is supplied from a generator G with a variable field F excited by a separate source E, a brake P, which is normally on, is pulled off by a direct-current motor when a current flows in the proper direction for winding. The generator G is driven by a three-phase motor B, and is connected to the armature M of the working motor through the armature K of the brake-releasing motor and a reversing-switch S. A handcontrolled resistance R is used to vary the current through the field coil F of the generator. The hand-lever Hand contact arm L are locked together when a current from the source E flows through an electro-magnet i in the circuit of the field coil f energizing the brake-releasing motor. Switches c, d are provided to prevent overwinding when the cage is ascending or descending, and the correct switch is inserted in circuit by a pilot switch T operated from the reversing-switch S. If the exitation fails, or the motors are overwound in either direction, the brake P is applied. The circuit cannot be completed after overwinding until the reversing-switch S has been operated and the pilot switch T thrown from one of the contacts a, b to the other. If the motor M tends to regenerate during the descent of the cage, the effect of the motor K in applying the brake will be increased.

Patent GB-191118965-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Processes for Obtaining Impressions in Ink or Colour from Photographic Films.
Inventor: LUCAS EDWARD GEORGE HANDEL
IPC: G03F7/06
Filed: 1911-08-23
Granted: 1912-09-23
Abstract: 18,965. Lucas, E. G. H. Aug. 23. Printing-surfaces.-Relates to the production of a printing-surface adapted for machine printing from an ordinary gelatino-bromide print, and to the manner of mounting it for use. The print may also be prepared for use as an electrotype or as a transfer. The paper print is first prepared as described in Specification 27,957/08. The back of the print is then (a) saturated with copal varnish or other water-repellant material, (b) coated with zinc white in oil colours, (c) dried, and (d) immersed in a water bath for 10 minutes, then for 10 minutes in a saturated salt bath, and finally in a glycerine and ammonia etching-bath such as is employed in ordinary collotype; these operations are carried out at 78‹ F. by using an oven such as is described in the before-mentioned Specification. The print is next placed hack down on glass, any dust and air bubbles are removed by a soft brush, and the surface is further dried by tissue paper. The print is then restored to the oven at 78‹ F. for 15 minutes to put it into condition for use as a printing-plate. For rotary printing, the print is firmly attached to the india-rubber or other suitable cover of a cylinder by coating the cover with a hot strong solution of gelatine and squeegeeing the print back down on to the cover, using a waxed tissue paper on the face of the print. The print can then be inked up and damped by resilient or pneumatic rollers. Alternatively the print may be mounted upon a resilient india-rubber pad with a bevelled edge to prevent the pad from cutting through the paper during inking or upon other more rigid supports. For certain purposes such as for making litho transfers, the print is only temporarily attached to a support for inking- up by using a weaker solution of hot gelatine. After inking-up with litho-transfer ink, the ink is partly removed from the light and half tones by a composition roller, and the print is grained by a pneumatic india-rubber roller in connexion with a fabric or grained surface. After peeling off the print from its support, it is treated before use with a strong solution of ammonia to remove any trace of grease from the lights of the image. Other transfers can be made by using various substances with the medium described in Specification 27,957/08, such as plumbago. A transfer with plumbago upon gutta-percha is used to obtain an electrotype. Or the electrotype may be made direct from the print when inked up with plumbago. Fluxes may also be used with the medium for inking-up and producing transfers upon glass, metal, and similar surfaces. The process is also applicable for colour-printing, the registration for each colour being obtained by means of a registration frame. In the Provisional Specification, the process described for preparing the print includes an exposure through the back of the print prior to the preliminary formalin bath, which treatment assists the hardening of the film.

IPC: B60T15/04
Filed: 1911-11-13
Granted: 1912-07-04
Abstract: 25,263. Chudleigh, J., and Fell, J. W. Jan. 23, [Convention date]. Fluid-pressure.-In order to permit recharging of the auxiliary reservoirs of Westinghouse or similar brake apparatus without releasing the brakes, an auxiliary train-pipe is connected to the usual train-pipe exhaust on the driver's valve, and also to the triple-valve exhaust ports by branch connexions containing special valve devices which maintain the triple-valve exhausts closed during recharging. The auxiliary train-pipe is connected to the exhaust e, Figs. 2 and 3, of the driver's valve, and by branch connexions to ports N', Fig. 5, in valve devices K, which comprise double pistons 0, O<1> working in cylinders L, L<1> and carrying valves P<1> adapted to close exhaust ports m'. The valve devices K are further connected at Q to the triple - valve exhausts. The driver's valve seat, Figs. 2 and 3, has an additional port f, connected by a passage e<1> with the exhaust e, and the rotary valve is formed with an additional port f<1> which connects the port f with the main exhaust port G only when the valve is in the release position I. When the brakes are applied, the air vented from the main train-pipe enters the auxiliary train-pipe and closes the valves P<1>. For recharging the auxiliary reservoirs, the driver's valve is momentarily moved to position I and then to the running position II, whereupon the triple valves move to permit recharging, release of the brakes being prevented by the valves P<1>. To effect release, the driver's valve is moved to position I so as to exhaust the auxiliary train-pipe by ports e', f, f<1>, G, whereupon the brake cylinder pressure opens the valve P<1> and exhausts. The invention is also shown applied to the older type of Westinghouse driver's valve, the connexion e<1> being in that case external to the valve.
